You will know that the AI labs believe in ASI when [they dissolve their forward deployed engineering teams]
Ethan Mollick's (Wharton) consistency test: we'll know AI labs truly believe in ASI the day they dissolve their *Forward Deployed Engineering* (FDE) teams. Public debate with roon (OpenAI) on LinkedIn: roon objects that this is a **hayekian problem** (intelligence does not automatically resolve organizational information flow) and revives the term "**Gentle singularity**". Consensus in the comments: technology is the easy part; internal politics / legacy workflows / contractual liability are the real bottleneck. Marker phrase: *"Curing cancer might be easier than replacing Accenture"*. Epistemic **East Coast vs West Coast** opposition on the trajectory of AI adoption.
